For those with HBO, it's worth watching the most recent episode of Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel (S27 E8). The first 20 minutes or so is devoted to USASF's handling of recent sexual assault allegations, Varsity's (and Bain Capital's) control over USASF and stranglehold on the competitive cheer...
Is everyone's feed buffering? We get about 20 seconds of video, and then the dreaded "Loading" message. Back up, reconnect, and the same thing happens. Not a great way to start the day.
